No not saying you are not nice at all, just an expression I use. Mainly it means I will be nicely patient.
I had an accident at work, a machine weighing a 1/4 of a tonne hit me in the corridor at work. Cracked 4 teeth including the front 2 which have had to be crowned and has damaged the sacro iliac and facet joints at the base of my spine. I walk on crutches and barely walk any distance at all without needing to sit. I cannot sit for very long without moving about a bit, I cannot sleep properly hence being on here at all hours of the morning.
I cannot drink either, I have been on Morphine since February and will need it at least till December when I am having my nerves at the base of the spine burnt.
I have Osteoarthritis because of it now. Cannot stand straight, let alone walk straight.
Its been a tough time, that is why the tank is so important to me, I am stuck out on the Lancashire moors with no transport as I cannot use my right leg and rely on mum or andrew to take me anywhere. The tank gives me something to do, I test alot, I read alot and I watch it alot. It keeps me sane, one reason I think why Andrew suggested having the 6ft tank, he knows how much entertainment I get from watching the tank, the inhabitants and doing my testing. He does all the lifting and carrying though.
Just need to find a second hand tank if possible, that will give me more money to spend elsewhere on the project. If I absolutely have to, I will eventually buy new.
EDIT I thought you knew, most people do.
